Forbes publishes annual list 100 highest paid celebrities. The Russian Maria Sharapova also got into it (her income is $ 29.5 million). In 2014, Sharapova was on the 63rd line of the rating, in the current she moved to 88th place.

Given the great changes that have occurred in the entertainment world, Forbes editors decided to slightly change the methodology and for the first time made a truly international top 100 stars, regardless of their nationality. Thanks to this, Salman Khan and Amitabh Bachchan (two Bollywood superstars) took higher positions than Channing Tatum and the “man without an Oscar” Leonardo DiCaprio.

When compiling the rating, the income received by famous people from June 1, 2014 to June 1, 2015 was taken into account.

Here's what the top ten most expensive superstars according to Forbes looks like.

10. Cristiano Ronaldo

The income of one of the best football players of our time for the year amounted to 79.5 million dollars.

9. Taylor Swift

An American country pop singer began writing songs at the age of ten. Swift is now 26 years old, and in one year she received $ 80 million. The circulation of its best-selling album "1989" last year amounted to 3.7 million copies.

8. Robert Downey Jr

The annual income of a genius, billionaire, philanthropist, playboy and just Iron Man is estimated at 80 million. A new blockbuster with his participation ("Avengers: Age of Ultron") for the first weekend of rental collected $ 201.2 million in box office and made Robert one of the highest paid film actors in the world according to Forbes.

7. James Patterson

The famous American author and writer has managed to win the hearts of 50 million readers, sell more than 230 million books and write more than 95 novels over the past four decades. Over the past year, he has become richer by $ 80 million.

6. Garth Brooks

There was a time when a country songwriter and a self-proclaimed king of all media performed at clubs and bars in Oklahoma. And now Brooks is a world famous singer and enjoys fame and fortune with $ 90 million in annual profit in his pocket.

5. Howard Stern

The fifth place in the ranking of the highest paid celebrities of 2015 is occupied by the American radio and television presenter, producer, writer, actor and photographer. He is known for his lengthy radio show called The Howard Stern Show, which has been on Sirius XM Radio since January 2006. From 2014 to 2015, Stern earned 95 million dollars.

4. One Direction

The largest boy band in the world over the past 12 months has visited every continent except Antarctica. As a result - 130 million dollars in profit. Forbes notes that the salaries of the boy band members are twice as high as those of the Rolling Stones.

3. Katy Perry

The third place in the top 10 stars with the highest incomes is occupied by the American singer, and in his spare time, the UN Goodwill Ambassador. As part of the Prismatic World Tour, dedicated to Prism's album, Perry gave 124 performances: 75 of them went abroad in 27 different countries. According to her managers, 60% of the singer's income (and for the year they amounted to 135 million dollars) was received from foreign markets. Such high fees allowed Katie to become the highest paid pop singer of 2015.

2. Manny Pacquiao

Boxers Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather clashed in the welterweight fight on May 2, which brought a record $ 4.4 million in pay per view, as well as $ 73 million in general fees and $ 13 million in sponsorship fees. Pacquiao lost the battle, but with a little consolation he will serve 160 million dollars received over the past 12 months.

1. Floyd Mayweather

Some celebrities have worked hard throughout their careers to get to the top of the Forbes' highest-paid celebrities in the world. But for boxer Floyd Mayweather, a few hits are enough for this. His total annual income was 300 million. Mayweather was able to earn such an amount, mainly due to the victory over Manny Pacquiao.
